WELCOME

The Shenandoah Region of the Porsche Club of America (PCA) is a central Virginia organization dedicated to the enjoyment of Porsche cars. While Porsches are the common element, our members provide the club with variety and enthusiasm. We organize scenic driving tours, run six autocrosses each year, and take part in high-performance driver's education events at the Virginia International Raceway. Our premier summer event is the Richmond Porsche Meet (RPM), a weekend including a "tops only" Concours d'Elegance, lunch, driving tour, tech session, banquet, and an autocross at the Southside Speedway. We also hold a Christmas party and several social/business meetings annually.

Non-members are welcome to participate in a social meeting, a driving tour, or an autocross at the Augusta Government Center. Visit JOIN PCA to learn how you can become a member.

To learn more about our club and its activities, investigate our web site, look at the on-line issues of our monthly newsletter, or contact any club officer. We are part of the larger PCA Zone 2 and the PCA national organizations.

Rumble at the Oak Tree: PCA Zone 2 will sponsor a three-day club race and advanced DE event on June 26–28 using the full course at the Virginia International Raceway (VIR). For more information, see the club race web page.

At 6 PM on Saturday, June 27 join us at the Villas at South Bend for a Happy Hour and Boxster Spec talk presented by WERKSTATT Charlottesville, Brad Roberts Automotive Group, and JRZ Shocks. Tech Talk and Q&A. 6:00pm until... All Porsche enthusiasts are welcome!

Garage Mahal Tour and Autocross: On Sunday, July 19 between 8:30 and 10:00 AM, Phyllis and Weldon Scrogham invite you to make a "pit stop" at their famous Garage Mahal in Waynesboro. Drop by for coffee and other refreshments as you gaze upon the Scroghams' beautiful collection of Porsches and a garage that most of us can only dream of. Here is a map showing the location of their home at 161 Huntington Place, Waynesboro, VA 22980. Please RSVP by July 15 to Phyllis by phone at (540) 256-1596 or by email at scrogham@gandw.com.

Afterward, head over to the Augusta Government Center in Verona (driving directions) for another one of Rick and Erik's challenging autocrosses. Registration is now open at www.motorsportreg.com. You will have plenty of time to travel from the Garage Mahal, sign in, and prepare your cars for the event. The drivers' meeting will be at 11:30 a.m. with the first car off shortly thereafter. If speeding around pylons is not your game, you take a leisurely drive over to Andre Viette's Daylily and Wine Festival in Fishersville. This is not a PCA-sanctioned event but just an alternative to the autocross while you're in the area. The festival starts at noon on Sunday. For more details see the festival web page.

Social/Business Dinner Meeting: Shenandoah Region PCA member Ben Briggs and his business partner Nancy Vetter have offered to host our August meeting at 6:30 PM, Tuesday, August 18. Take this opportunity to tour PrintSource at 3315 Berkmar Drive, Charlottesville (map), see where our very own "Heat Exchanger" newsletter is published, and meet the people who make it happen. There is plenty of free parking. Enjoy an evening socializing with your Porsche friends while being treated to the "Crazy Good Bar-B-Q" of Charlottesville's own Belmont Bar-B-Que. The dinner and drinks will be compliments of Ben and Nancy. They'll even have a special surprise that you'll be able to take home with you!
